New Year's Eve in Vegas

A massive street party, fireworks from casino rooftops and the music of Frank, Sammy and Elvis will all be part of Las Vegas' annual New Year's Eve celebration. Last year, Las Vegas drew 293,000 visitors to its nearly 111,000 hotel rooms for a Friday night New Year's Eve – the fifth year of a Strip fireworks show that organizers have dubbed "America's Party." Event officials say that this year's $500,000 pyrotechnics show will feature more than 40,000 shells fired from the top of 10 hotel-casinos along the four-mile Strip. A soundtrack for the display will include songs by Vegas icons Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Liberace, Elvis Presley and Tom Jones. The downtown Fremont Street Experience pedestrian-casino mall plans to feature live music and entertainment. Details: www.americasparty2006.com.
